Ken Cedeno / REUTERSCNN’s Wolf Blitzer says he was just a “few feet away” from the gunman who started shooting “randomly” outside the room where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was taking place Saturday night. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania were seen being hurriedly evacuated as Secret Service agents swarmed the ballroom, with one agent sparking panic by yelling, “Shots fired!” Blitzer watched the dramatic events unfold outside the ballroom after he says he “coincidentally” left the event area to use the bathroom.
